Brothers and laity of Champagnat, passionate for the proclamation of the Kingdom of God to children and young people, in a wounded world and thirsty for God, in the style of Mary, weaving relationships of fraternity and communion.

May the 22nd General Chapter be a Spirit-filled gathering that transforms our Institute into a global entity that lives out our Brotherhood for the world.

I have great expectation that we can be, all the brother capitulants together, co-creators of the Marist journey, updating the dream of Marcellin to the present times and the contexts in which it unfolds.
